Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe transferred a portion of his ownership stake and voting power to his ex-wife as part of a divorce settlement, impacting his control from 7.6% to around 4%.
The ownership transfer, valued at roughly $130 million, does not affect Rivian's business operations, as stated by the company.
Rivian is focusing on new vehicle releases like the R2 SUV to drive sales growth, while the ownership structure has shifted with Volkswagen emerging as a major stakeholder.
Scaringe's voting power had previously peaked at 9.2% post-IPO and now stands around 4% after the divorce settlement. His control may increase as more shares and options vest.
